Please save our trail.

We strongly support the better option of bus rapid transit (BRT) on I-405. ST3 E02 Sound Transit offered another option that puts BRT on I-405, with a bus station at Northeast 85th Street. This option would cost less to build and maintain, serve a larger portion of Kirkland’s taxpaying population, and provide more ridership and faster service than mass transit on the Cross Kirkland Corridor. Based on Sound Transit’s own data, BRT on I-405, per ride, costs 40 percent less to build, costs 38 percent less to operate, carries 27 percent more riders and moves riders 22 percent faster as compared to the trail option.

Our tax dollars will be more efficiently used with mass transit on I-405.

Dan and Kelly Clark, Kirkland
